摘要
For many years, the proclamation that coronary heart disease (CHD) was not attributable to traditional risk factors in up to 50% of cases (1,2) was finally submerged after careful and detailed re-analysis (3,4). In this issue of the journal, Pitt et al. (5) take aim at another long-held notion: that clinically significant alterations in lipids occur after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), thereby precluding meaningful interpretation until well beyond hospital discharge.
